How often should I change my engine oil?

Posted on 11/26/2019


Your engine oil should be changed every 3,000 to 5,000 miles and this depends on the type of oil that your engine takes. If your engine takes a full synthetic or if it's a diesel then we recommend that you have your oil changed every 5,000 miles. If your engine takes a conventional or synthetic blend then we recommend to have it changed every 3,000 miles. This is due to the fact that over time your engine oil can get contaminated with fuel and then it begins to thin out and provides less lubrication.
